Every task matters
So much depends upon pouring the orange juice.
My second set of tasks each morning are household ones. Preparing breakfast for us.
The main breakfast item varies day to day, but there is a set of fixed daily preliminaries. Coffee is made, the table is set, juice is poured, berries are dished.
Each task, in the grand scheme of things, does not appear to have a major impact. But each of them is done with care, even if once in while the juice spills when poured. Only human.
There is something ultimate about each task. William Carlos Williams wrote, “so much depends Upon/a red wheel barrow”. So much depends upon pouring the orange juice.
